Abstract

A disposable, absorbent garment, such as a diaper, having an absorbent core (14) and stretchable, substantially liquid impermeable web (12). The core (14) is attached to the web (12) by a strip of adhesive (32) extending in a longitudinal direction along the bottom surface of the core (14). The web (12) is folded around the exterior of the core (14) and includes notches formed in opposing sides of the crotch portion of the web (12). When folded about the core (14), the notched areas form a longitudinally extending opening along the top surface of the core (14). A plurality of elastic bands are affixed along the crotch portion of the web (12) so as to extend substantially parallel to, but inwardly of the notched areas. The elastic bands constrict the web (12) adjacent the notches to form cuffs which fit snugly about the wearer's legs. Adhesive tabs, or another similar closure device, is attached on opposite sides of the web (12) to hold the garment together about the wearer's torso. Alternatively, opposing sides of the garment may be sealed together to form a pant. Elastomeric material is affixed to strategic positions of the web (12) to increase the elastic force of the web (12) when stretched, to enable the garment to better conform to the wearer's body. Optionally, heat shrinkable film may be disposed about the opening formed by the notches in order to raise the edges of the opening and form a pocket for containing solid waste materials.
